“The best customer service”

Felix D.
9/27/21

I had an issue with J. Crew website placing an online order. I called and spoke with a customer service representative who then transferred me to someone on the technical/trouble shooting team. Problem was accurately being looked into, but most importantly I was very pleased with how attentive and professional both representatives were. It isn't common to get the highest level of costumer service in this day and age!

“Won't honor a confirmed order”

Donna D.
12/14/23

I placed a large order. The order was confirmed. When I checked the website to see when the order would arrive, it said order "canceled". They did not notify me. When I got a customer service agent on the phone, he read me a prepared statement saying there were "discount discrepancies" and they would not honor them or send my order. No other explanation. All the items I tried to order are still available at a much higher price.

I ordered a cashmere sweater for my brother in late November. Because of medical issues,, he didn't open his holiday package until January. It came in the wrong color and style. He tried to return it or exchange it but the hers said it was too late. He sent it back to me and I also tried to return or exchange it. Again they said it was too late. Is this company failing? Who runs this awful company? It used to be a decent store but now I wouldn't waste my time on these creeps. They sure don't know anything about customer satisfaction!

I've ordered shoes and boots from them and they've arrived thoughtfully packaged, it's a gift to unwrap them! The clothing is well designed and beautifully made, I'm so glad to have discovered JCrew!

I place 3 times the same order. First time I placed it online and got a confirmation and 24 hours later I got a cancellation email. The remaining two times I placed the order over the phone and was assured it will not get cancelled but it did until I called again. Guess what it again got cancelled. How can you run an online store this way?

I finally walked into their outlet mall and ordered another product but since my size was not in store they shipped it. This time I got the order with security censor so again I had to go back to the store to get it removed. Horrible experience both in store and online.

I just purchased over $350 worth of merchandise on JCrew.com. I needed to return 1 item, a belt and they charged me $7 to return the item. I purchased from many stores over the holiday and even the less expensive stores returned items for free. They just lost a customer.

JCrew used to sell good quality clothing but it changed a couple of years ago. Cashmere sweaters used to cost $180 but its all worth it, they have the best colors compared to other brands and it last for a long time. But after that couple of years, yes the price is lower but the quality is poor. 2 cashmerE sweaters from them after hand washing shrunk. The "merino" they sell is so thin not worth the price.

Products used:
free shipping is only for jcrew cardholders. refund policy is if final sale no refund. i am not the kind of person who buy and then return no matter how many they are. so i stop buying as 2 of the cashmere sweaters i bought shrunk.

Ugh J. C. do you hate women? I can call you J. C. As we have known each other for over 20 years. You were the place to shop for cool weddings and warm wool coats and beautiful suits. But now look at you, you traded quality for quantity. A lot of ill fitting, poorly made pieces. I can order the same style of pants in 3 colors and none will fit the same. You make dresses and shirts and jeans that could not possibly be made to fit the human form. You should have stayed in your lane. You were better than that at one time. I'm sorry but I just can't anymore. Goodbye.

Been shopping J. Crew forever...

To be honest I only shop the sale section of their website. They have had some issues with sizing and quality over the past few years but I am very happy with the items I buy on sale. I love the reviews on their site and never buy with out reading them. Shipping is not super fast but still acceptable. I don't have a store in my area to return items but never have any problem returning via mail.

I bought 2 duplicate jeans that were the same size and style I already had.
They were so big I could not keep them up without tightening my belt where the material folded over.
They were a straight leg w34/32 and fit like they were at least a w36.
What's happening in Bangladeshi?
Very disappointed in a blue Jean company that I thought was better.

Purchased 2 ladies flannel on sale, they were about $20 each after paying shipping. These shirts are NOT anywhere near flannel. They are a cotton "wanna be" flannel. They were final sale or I would have returned them immediately. If you are looking for a cotton shirt made to look flannel this is the shirt for you. I purchased flannel on Amazon for the same price and they were real flannel. I'm very disappointed in J Crew and will stick with LL Bean for my future purchases.

Three separate times I have ordered a pair of New Balance sneakers and all three times the shipping date was pushed back over several weeks and then canceled. I can understand this happening one time. They were in stock two of the times and this still occurred. I will be ordering from another company hear on out. Customer service was polite, but absolutely nothing was done. Oops, sorry is not enough. Sorry, J. Crew moving on.

I ordered 2 robes which were not cheap. When they arrived I expected there to be some quality to them based on the price. They were incredibly thin, cheaply made, ill-fitting, way too small and not at all true to size. I tried returning them, and J-crew made me return them separately so they could charge me two return shipping fees (even though they were shipped to me in one package). Then they charged a restock fee on top? When the sizes advertised were not even close to accurate. This is irresponsible and there is apparently no regard for the planet. Why insist on needless packing materials, postage, etc? Just to make an extra few bucks off your customers instead of serving their needs. Pathetic.

I've been shopping at Jcrew since I was in college, so more than a few years. I even worked for the company for the better part of three years. I recently emailed Jcrew about not getting my birthday reward this year and the csr who emailed me back was extremely rude and didn't even use my name. Just a generic response. And she told me that "sadly" I didn't qualify for the reward. Um yes I do, got it last year in fact, but it's only 20 bucks so no biggie. Worst csr experience I've ever had with Jcrew. Maybe it was a bot? If not then the company needs to start training their employees better because otherwise, they'll keep losing loyal customers like myself. I'll be shopping at Nordstrom and Bean from now on.

Went to pick up a package at Rockefeller Center location. Kept waiting, they couldn't find it. They offered a gift card for the inconvenience. Kept waiting, they couldn't do it. Complete waste of time, and they couldn't care less. Shop somewhere else...

Tip for consumers:
I left feeling like I was the "bad guy" when they messed up, twice. Not cool, JCrew!

I bought a lot of things with a coupon code. The coupon code didn't work, even though it said it did until it processed my payment. So shady! I called them within minutes and told them what happened. They assured me I would be returned the money. That was 2 weeks ago! I keep calling and they say because I used Applepay it takes longer to process the refund. I wonder how much longer it is going to to take for them to give me my money back.

I ordered a T-shirt with three buttons on the front on 1/30/20. Since then, I've worn it about 8 times. Two of the three buttons have cracked into pieces and fallen off recently when I was simply fastening them. Clearly the buttons are of very poor quality. I wrote to J Crew - and they responded that since it's been more than 30 days since the purchase, they aren't responsible. Really? If buttons were to break into pieces after 31 days, J Crew considers that acceptable? Sad, as J Crew used to be a respectable company.

JCrew misleads customers with a "30 day return policy." When you order online, it's really more like a week (JCrew subtracts the time it takes them and their shippers to send the package, send the return, and then process the return) Direct quote from customer service: "it takes up to two weeks for the return to be completed and the policy indicates that returns need to be processed and received within the 30 day window"... shady practice, I would avoid doing business with this company.

Love J. Crew styles, but quality has declined over the years. On top of that, the facts that they charge for returns, almost all sale items are final sale, and sizing is inconsistent are causing me to stop shopping here. If their were more stores where I could try items on and return things, I would much more inclined to purchase from J. Crew.

J Crew service and customer s service has deteriorated. I am a customer for over 10; years. I live in Philadelphia and cannot visit store, closed recently.
I have bought on line very often and sometimes had to exchange the item in store with no problem and friendly, professional employees.
Now on line purchases are paid via Comenity Bank.
I have only experienced unfriendly service when calling to pay my balance. I could not complete my payment on line due to a " glitch" as Comenity/JCREW communicated on line, so no choice.
I need to rethink buying at JCREW bc I don't like condescending, patronizing, rude customer service.

Tip for consumers:
Ask for identification of representative.

I was on the phone for one hour to return something and they never could manage to help me do it.
The quality is poor and now they buy from third party manufacturers and will not let you return them to j crew site when you have NO idea that they are not a part of J crew
They will soon go chapter 11

TERRIBLE company in customer service. I wish there is zero or minus rating. I hope the company stops this non-sense policy of "final sale". All other big retailers do not have this policy. The store manager was very rude and refused to return a defective merchandise that worth $24. I hope this $24 will save the company from its financial trouble. Shame on them. I have been a customer for almost 15 years.
